ANESTHESIA FOR CESAREAN-SECTION - UPDATED REVIEW OF ITS SPECIAL PROBLEMS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT SOUTH AFRICAN MEDICAL JOURNAL BULEY, R. J., BROCKUTNE, J. G., Downing, J. W., HOULTON, P. J. 1978; 54 (13): 525-527

Abstract

We have attempted to update a previous review of the hazards and problems confronting the mother, fetus and anaesthetist at caesarean section. A recent survey of obstetric anaesthesia within the Republic and South West Africa indicates that a significant proportion of anaesthetic services for midwifery are provided by non-specialist practitioners in hospitals outside major population centres. We believe that both mothers and their infants will gain from the careful perusal by their doctors of this review.
